Nebraska Cornhuskers Eyeing Breakout Season in 2025
2 Aug
Summary
- Analyst Greg McElroy predicts Nebraska could have a "really nice record" in 2025
- Huskers play tough opponents like Penn State, USC, and Michigan at home
- Nebraska has found success at Memorial Stadium, going 9-5 in Rhule's first two seasons
According to college football analyst and former Alabama quarterback Greg McElroy, the Nebraska Cornhuskers are poised for a strong 2025 season. McElroy notes that the Huskers' schedule works in their favor, as they will host several of their toughest opponents, including Penn State, USC, and Michigan, at Memorial Stadium.
Nebraska has found success at home under head coach Matt Rhule, posting a 9-5 record in his first two seasons. This suggests the Huskers could be due for some upset wins against their high-profile visitors. Rhule has a history of leading significant turnarounds in his third year, having taken Temple from six wins to 10 and Baylor from seven wins to 11.
While Nebraska's combined record of 12-13 in Rhule's first two seasons may not have met expectations, the team's performance at home has been a bright spot. If the Huskers can continue to protect their home turf and pull off some key victories, they could be in for a "really nice record" in 2025, as McElroy predicts.
